The Squirrel Census (https://www.thesquirrelcensus.com/) is a multimedia science, design, and storytelling project focusing on the Eastern gray (Sciurus carolinensis). They count squirrels and present their findings to the public.

This table contains stories, observations, and notes written on tally sheets by Squirrel Sighters during the Census. Individual stories have been tagged with common story themes, such as “squirrel experience,” “park experience,” “dogs,” “other animals,” “accidental poems,” and “squirrels acting odd.”

This is the 500-Year Floodplain for the 2020s based on FEMA's Preliminary Work Map data and the New York Panel on Climate Change's 90th Percentile Projects for Sea-Level Rise (11 inches). Please see the Disclaimer PDF for more information. Data Provided by the Mayor's Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability (OLTPS) on behalf of CUNY Institute for Sustainable Cities (CISC) and the New York Panel on Climate Change (NPCC).

2010 steam consumption in mlbs and Mg, by ZIP code and building type.

This report includes updated changes in extreme events (e.g., hot days, days with heavy rainfall, heat waves) for the 2030s, 2050s and 2080s; and sea level rise projections for the 2030s, 2050s, 2080s, 2100 and 2150 for the New York City region, based on those developed for the IPCC 6th Assessment report. The sea level rise projections are based on the CMIP6 models and SSP framework, and also incorporate advances in process understanding, improved and lengthened observational records, and improved ice-sheet modeling.

The New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) started in 2009 and was codified in Local Law 42 of 2012 with a mandate to provide an authoritative and actionable source of scientific information on future climate change and its potential impacts.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change.

Location of DSNY garages. Essential to DSNY operations are our 59 garages across the five boroughs. This structure enables the Department’s uniformed personnel to efficiently perform regular duties – and quickly execute emergency response.

To reduce needless waste and increase diversion of reusable material from landfills, the NYC Department of Sanitation established donateNYC in 2016. donateNYC helps New Yorkers give goods, find goods, and do good, with tools that make it easy to donate or find used goods.

By donating and reusing goods instead of discarding them, New Yorkers can greatly reduce waste, conserve energy and resources, save money, and help provide jobs and human services for New Yorkers in need. donateNYC is an essential part of NYC’s Zero Waste Goals.

donateNYC also provides vital support for New York City’s reuse community, helping nonprofit organizations and local reuse businesses increase and promote their reuse efforts.

Record of Forestry planting spaces for NYC Parks & Recreation.

Tree Points and Planting Spaces form the basis of ForMS 2.0’s data inventory and are the core entities that all Service Requests, Inspections, and Work Orders are associated to. The system has built-in rules to ensure that every Tree Point has a Planting Space and each Planting Space can have no more than one active Tree Point at a given time. Locations that have had one tree removed and another tree replanted will appear in ForMS 2.0 as a single Planting Space associated with one retired Tree Point (that has a removal Work Order) and one active Tree Point.

Citywide street tree data from the 2005 Street Tree Census, conducted partly by volunteers organized by NYC Parks & Recreation. Trees were inventoried by address, and were collected from 2005-2006. Data collected includes tree species, diameter, condition.

This is a report of city vehicles and actual MPG compared to EPA estimated MPG. Each line of data is a combination of all the active vehicles on the city’s telematics system broken down into year/make/model/standard type with fueling and usage data. The intent is for each line to represent the sticker MPG and the real-world MPG and how these compare to each other. The report can be found at https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dcas/downloads/pdf/fleet/NYC-Fleet-Newsletter-306-May-27-2020-Hybrids-Work-Even-Better-in-Reality-Than-in-Theory.pdf.

This data tracks the blocks that have been planted through NYC Parks’ street tree block planting program, a major component of the MillionTreesNYC initiative. When a block planting is completed for specific street segment, all available and appropriate locations for street tree installation have been planted. This dataset is based on the Citywide Street Centerline data.

The Department conducted the 2017 NYC Residential, School, and NYCHA (NYC Housing Authority) Waste Characterization Study over three seasons: spring, summer, and fall. This study builds on decades of research and analysis into the evolving composition of NYC's waste stream. The study team hand sorted samples into 70 main sort categories. Sub-sorting of an additional 172 categories was conducted to get a more detailed understanding of the wide variety of plastic products in the waste stream, as well as a sub-set of Paper products. Results are presented in absolute terms as the quantity by weight of each material type. The quantity of each material is calculated by applying the percent composition to the total quantity of DSNY collections for fiscal year 2017 (July 2016-June 2017).

This dataset captures all water features within NYC Parks. It combines the State’s hydrography layer with known water fountains. Made for cartographic purposes, the attribute data isn’t as maintained as the geometry.

The Flood Vulnerability Index (FVI) assesses the distribution of vulnerability to flooding across NYC in order to guide flood resilience policies and programs. Vulnerability contains three components: exposure to a hazard, susceptibility to harm from the exposure, and capacity to recover (Cutter et al., 2009). There are six hazard-specific FVIs, one for each of the six different flood hazard scenarios, which include current and two future storm surge scenarios and current and two future tidal flooding scenarios. Exposures vary for different types of flooding and different scenarios within each flood type.

Each FVI consists of two component sub-indices: an exposure index and an index that reflects susceptibility to harm and capacity to recover. The exposure index is different in each FVI in order to capture the different exposures to each of the flood hazard scenarios. The sub-index that reflects susceptibility to harm and capacity to recover -- the Flood Susceptibility to Harm and Recovery Index (FSHRI) -- is the same for each FVI. It aggregates 12 socio-economic indicators correlated with various types of hardships that people may suffer due to flooding and different dimensions of ability to recover.

Blockface data from the TreesCount! 2015 Street Tree Census, conducted by volunteers and staff organized by NYC Parks & Recreation and partner organizations. Blockface data includes tree counts and data collection status by block. Accompanying street tree data is available, indicating tree-level details such as tree species, size and other characteristics.

The sustainability indicators are used by the Mayor's Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability to track the progress of the PlaNYC program.

Record of Forestry inspections for NYC Parks & Recreation. Inspections are initiated by a service request or internal process and may result in a work order.

Inspections are used to record field observations. ForMS 2.0 requires that Inspections can only be created from either a Tree Point or Planting Space based on the asset in question. Inspection types vary depending on the inspector’s workflow:
• level 1 (limited visual)
• level 2 (basic)
• level 3 (advanced)
• Re-inspection
• Sidewalk Rating (Trees and Sidewalks Inspections)
• General – Planting Space (Street Tree Planting Inspections)

This dataset can be joined to the Forestry Tree Points dataset by joining TreePointGlobalID from Forestry Inspections to GLOBALID from Forestry Tree Points.
